Since 2001, India has gained new attention as an emerging world
power with a rapidly growing economy, a world-class science and
technology sector, and a huge English-speaking labor pool. After a
period of escalating tension with neighbor Pakistan, wide-ranging
peace talks are underway. Within India, there is an unprecedented
mood of optimism about the future. At the same time, the nation
wrestles with difficult questions about the place of secularism in
society, the role it sees for itself globally and within Asia, and
the reality that millions of Indians still live at the subsistence
level. This volume of India Briefing examines India's changing
fortunes through chapters that cover the economy; the twists and
turns of domestic politics; labor in the large informal sector; the
cultural roots of Hindu nationalism; the foreign relations
rollercoaster; the business of Bollywood; and a special chapter on
the range of new resources about India available on the web.
